These sweet and spicy roasted carrots make a fabulous side dish, but they’re also delicious all on their own. In fact, on those rare (and dare I say treasured) nights when I’m on my own for dinner and don’t feel like fussing with a full meal, I’ll make them for myself as a main course. They’re like vegetable candy, and I can easily polish off the entire pan myself.

Comments

  • These carrots are fabulous. My carrot hating husband had seconds.

  • Jenn, I was wondering can these be made ahead and frozen to be thawed/reheated for Thanksgiving? I saw some other comments about making ahead of time but nothing yet on freezing them.

    • Hi Amy, I don’t think the texture would be quite right if you froze these after cooking. I suspect they’d get too mushy when reheated. Sorry!

  • Last night was the 6th time I’ve made this dish. It’s never a disappointment!

  • Can one make these ahead of time? If so, how do you recommend I reheat them?

    • Yes Tia, you can make them ahead of time. Before serving, reheat at 350, covered, until hot. Enjoy!

  • Fabulous! My favourite way to eat carrots.

  • Delicious and easy! Great side.

  • I seriously love this recipe! Just read the ingredients on the curry mix you buy – if it contains salt, you won’t need to add any or not much. If no salt – then you’ll need to add.

  • Never made this with honey before, but I’ll have to give it a try! Carrots are absolutely one of my favorite root vegetables to serve as a side. I make something similar for Asian-inspired dishes with Thai yellow curry paste & coconut milk.

  • Winner! We have quite a struggle in our house to get our tweens to eat vegtables…well we tried the curried carrots and wow! All plates were clean….more please mom! This recipe will be a staple in our house. Thanks Jen!
